Musician D4vd has made a significant move following the discovery of a 15-year-old girl’s body in his Tesla. The tragic incident has led to the suspension of his tour and legal scrutiny.

Musician D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, has made a significant personal decision following the chilling discovery of a 15-year-old girl’s dismembered body in a Tesla registered to him. The singer, currently on tour promoting his debut album, was informed of the disturbing incident that took place on September 6 in Los Angeles.

The Tesla, which had been impounded after being left parked on the street for an extended period, was taken to an impound lot in the Hollywood Hills. Two days later, employees reported a foul odor emanating from the vehicle, and upon inspection, they found a plastic bag containing the dismembered body of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The remains were identified as that of Celeste, who had been missing for over a year.

While D4vd has not been named a suspect and no charges have been filed against him, he has been fully cooperating with the authorities, according to his representatives. The singer’s team confirmed that he was informed of the discovery while still on tour. “He is fully cooperating with the authorities,” they stated.

The police investigation is ongoing, but as of now, D4vd has not been directly linked to the crime. Celeste went missing from Lake Elsinore, California, in April 2024 when she was just 13 years old.

Legal Actions: Property Transfers and Swatting Incident

In the wake of the tragic discovery, D4vd has reportedly taken steps to transfer the deeds to two homes in Texas to his mother’s name, according to legal documents. One property in the Houston area was transferred on September 23, and another on September 18. This move comes after a “swatting” incident occurred at one of the properties on September 17.

Swatting, which involves making a hoax emergency call to trigger a police response, led to a heavy police presence at D4vd’s Texas home. The caller falsely reported gunshots and a possible fatality, but it was later confirmed to be a hoax. Body cam footage from the Waller County District Attorney’s Office shows police arriving at the house, guns drawn, only to discover that no crime had occurred.
